LAREDO, TX- The Laredo Bucks of the Central Hockey League will try and take on a new challenge Sunday Night (August 3rd ) as several players and front office members will be models in the first ever "Noche De Estrellas" fundraising fashion show, hosted by Stein Mart. The event will take place this Sunday August 3rd at 6:30pm at the Laredo Civic Center Auditorium. Proceeds from the show will go to the Dignity U. Wear Foundation, a non-profit organization providing brand new clothing to those in need. There is a $20 donation to attend the event, call Maria Guajardo at 956-712-9151 for tickets.

Hitting the runway and modeling for the Bucks will be Head Coach and General Manager Terry Ruskowski, Jeff Bes, Serge Dube, Director of Media Relations and Broadcasting Bryan Benway, and Director of Public Relations Nicole Kupaks.

There will be about 20 models in the show, including Laredo Mayor Raul Salinas, plus other local celebrities and city leaders. The models will strut their stuff on the runway and showcase Stein Marts latest fall fashions during the show.

"We are very proud to partner up and be a part of this great event", said Ruskowski. "This is such a worth while cause for the great city of Laredo, we cannot wait to help out and walk on the runway in this event".

Since 2005 Dignity U. Wear has been providing brand new clothing to the less fortunate and low-income individuals served by Christ Miracle Center in Laredo. So far $48,000 of brand new clothing has been provided to individuals served by the center by Dignity U Wear.

"This is what makes our job as a part of our organization so gratifying, that we can be a part of this fundraising effort", Ruskowski said.

When asked about his modeling skills coach Rosco joked, "it's been quite a long time since i've been on a runway, I just hope I don't hurt anybody".

There is a $20 donation to attend the event, call Maria Guajardo at 956-712-9151 for tickets.
